Oh, the worker man… I still can’t believe the worker man left the roses in the car… he says he only buys them if they’re fresh… they mustn’t have fresh roses often… and they survived the night.
Sunday morning, I said I need to wash your jacket… he said it’s in the ute… got a weird look on his face, and took off. Apparently if they had been withered I’d have never known about it 😉

The condensed message full of alliteration, repetition and word choice sounds(assonance? Forgotten the term.) really bloom! Somehow the structure suggests the physical nature of the rose – and in the end you get the sweetness. (roughseas is right – the picture is renaissance painting like – perfect fit with the depth and contrast of light and dark)
Brilliantly done.

I’m always happy when the G.O. gets home.
There’s a series of TV advts in Australia promoting work site safety “come home to them” which has such an impact… I wish the industry would change, there’s too many construction associated workers working far too many hours.
